Psathyromyia (Xiphomyia) aclydifera (Fairchild & Hertig) : Artemiev, 1991: 73; Galati, 2003: 42 (list, keys). Diagnosis. Male: gonocoxite with 2 or 3 specialized broad setae near middle, and a group of perennial seate near apex; gonostylus with 4 spiniform setae, all at different levels; paramere with a rounded protuberance bearing specialized setae near middle of the dorsal margin (directed toward lateral lobes), distal half dorsally directed and with a leaf-like setae at apex. Female: cibarium with 10 to 12 horizontal teeth and one or at most two rows of small vertical teeth, arch complete; spermatheca somewhat asymmetrical, with long drop-shaped capitulum, imbricated, individual spermathecal ducts longer than spermatheca, and common spermathecal duct as long as spermatheca (Young & Duncan 1994; Galati 2003). Material examined. MEXICO : CHIAPAS: Guadalupe Miramar: 03-xii-2010 , 1 ♀. Loma Bonita, 21-ii-2010 , 1 ♂ . Collected with CDC light trap. Distribution. MEXICO (Chiapas) (Vargas & Díaz-Nájera 1953b), BELIZE , GUATEMALA , HONDURAS , NICARAGUA , COSTA RICA , PANAMA , COLOMBIA , ECUADOR , BOLIVIA (Young & Duncan 1994). Remarks. Females of this subgenus are very similar and have yet to be thoroughly described. In Mexico , this species has only been recorded in Chiapas, and seems to be very rare in comparison with other phlebotomine sand flies. Females apparently feed on small mammals.
